Aburi Hana

Best Michelin star in Toronto so far ! Service is great , great food and atmosphere!

Michelin star high end japanese restaurant.
Tasting menu is excellent, full of flavor and creative taste.
Service very attentive !

Wish I could give 6 stars for service! 5 ⭐ in all ways. Peaceful, calm experience.

Such an incredible kaiseki experience. Chef Ryusuke Nakagawa put so much creativity and thoughtfulness into each dish. Gorgeous display of the early summer seasonality. Also big shout out to Pastry Chef Aiko Uchigoshi who despite we hadn’t met in person but her Miyazaki Mango Young Ginger dish and olive oil cucumber ice cream are both so fun and delicious to eat. Thank you! Can’t wait for the new season menu already. Looking forward to the next food adventure with Aburi Hana.

On Friday at around 5:30PM, I took my mother to Aburi Hana for an early Mother’s Day dinner and we unfortunately both got horrible food poisoning. As a long time customer of Aburi Hana and its affiliation (with mostly good experience in the past) this visit was nothing short of disappointment. Despite being a Michelin star restaurant, I did not receive the equivalent service provided to “resolve” my concern. After experiencing food poisoning, I immediately phoned the restaurant to report back my concern, I was told it would be throughly and carefully investigated by a manager named Amy. Today, they phoned back and to my disdain, they said there was nothing they could do. We were the only ones seated at the counter at that time—They mentioned no other customers had called to report similar issues. I do understand and appreciate their willingness to investigate however, as a long time customer, there definitely could have been a better more suitable resolution provided to me, especially when the meal was meant to be a Mother’s Day dinner, totaling to $900. And to my understanding, regardless of whether other customers were impacted, a slight cross-contamination could cause the food poisoning I experienced. Amy tried to explain to me and apologize but to me, but I’d much rather preferred actual action taken to service a long time customer like myself. I strongly do not recommend this restaurant to anyone and in fact will not return myself. There are plenty of other restaurants that offer far superior ambience at a more reasonable price, with better service. Don’t go here unless you want to receive lousy service, be set up for potential food poisoning while paying a price tag.

Everything was a 10/10. Very creative dishes

I am lucky to have another chance to dine here again and it was as excellent as my previous experience. Every bite is delightful and visually stunning. I recommend it for a very special occasion.

High quality service, great kaiseki experience. There's some French influence to their kaiseki but still traditional Japanese kaiseki dinner.

On the higher end for tasting menu, you get exceptional service to go along with it.
The staff are all very knowledgeable and sitting at the counter you get to see the kitchen staff do their craft.

Worth noting that tea is on the expensive side, starting at $40, but the pot and cup will never be empty.

Thanks for a wonderful experience

Aburi Hana transported us through an unexpected culinary experience. I am happy to say, they did not disappoint, they have now become our favourite Michelin star restaurant in all of Toronto. Carefully thought out dishes with exquisite taste took us away from our daily life into a divine adventure. The service was as perfect as you could imagine. The Sake pairing was an amazing touch and explained to a point of excellence. I will be looking forward to our return. Thank you Chef Ryusuke Nakagawa and your team for making our anniversary so special!

Service was really good. Food was ok. At these prices lake trout should not be on the menu. Had the alcohol pairing and it was ruined negate all the glasses, including my water head a very distasteful odor. The wait staff smelled both water glasses and alcohol glasses and reimbursed the alcohol pairing.

The service was highly professional, though it felt a bit robotic. Each dish was beautifully presented, but the flavors in most were missing some “aha moments” and didn’t justify the price.

Omakase restaurant opened from Vancouver BC company. Very nice presentation! Generally quite delicious and dishes uses good ingredients. However, food temperature are all not hot enough! The aroma of the truffle used were not very good! One star Michelin for a few years! Need a lot of work to get another star, may be!

Everything was so beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked. Our server was super knowledgable and personable, we had such a great experience. We really loved the signature tuna rose dish. I still think about the dessert today: a white sesame ice cream with chesnut shavings on top. Amazing. This place is pricey but worth a splurge for a special occassion!

Kid-friendliness: Probably not a great place for young kids. It's a multi hour tasting menu.
